Boot Camp Backfire?


I think running Windows on an Apple machine is tantamount to desecration. Andrew Kantor of USA Today thinks it’s a market-share opportunity for Microsoft. I use the word “thinks” very lightly:

But the notion put forward by some Mac folks — that Boot Camp will improve the Mac’s position in the business and gaming marketplace — is backward. Instead, it’s more likely to convince Mac users to switch to Windows once they’ve used it long enough to be deprogrammed.

MacWorld’s Jason Snell thoroughly rebuts Kantor.

Andrew Kantor is a technology writer, pundit, and know-it-all.

I can think of a few other items to add to that list, but what do I know? I’m just another crazy cultist who needs to be deprogrammed.

And Kantor is an intellect ranking even lower on the scale than Dvorak.
